Nicknames

Nickname(from Greek false name) is an invented name that a person uses in public activities instead of the name given at birth (recorded in official documents).

Most often, pseudonyms are used in literature, art, religion and the occult.

If a person becomes famous, the pseudonym often displaces his real name. And even the person himself begins to perceive himself under a pseudonym.

They take a pseudonym if they want:

Choose a name with a certain energy (program) for success in a specific profession

Have a bright, memorable name

Replace long name with shorter one

Hide national roots

Hide your real name to protect yourself from attention

Selecting a nickname

Question:

Hello Oleg Petrovich and Valentina Vladimirovna! Help me, please, in choosing pseudonym for creative activities. I do DJing (play music). I can’t think of a creative pseudonym for myself. I really like Latin music, Latin countries, sun, beach, carnivals. I would like a pseudonym from this topic. Thank you in advance. Tell me what else is required from me to help you.

With all respect, Andrew

Answer:

For those who want to choose a pseudonym, we can offer a pseudonym in three options:

Name (name options)

Last name (surname options)

First and last name.

Please write what set of programs (energies) your pseudonym should include:

For creative activities

For success, fame, fame

For money, business, increasing income

To attract the opposite sex

For love and creating a family

Other programs (write which ones)

A combination of several of the above programs (energies).

For example, a pseudonym for creative activity can help in creativity, give inspiration, ideas, but at the same time not bring money. Or money will come and go.

It is much easier to choose a nickname based on only one program. Because creativity and business at the same time is a rare combination. Creativity and fame are programs close to each other.

And also write examples of nicknames that you like so that we can focus on your taste.

Selecting a nickname

We can find a nickname for you. To do this, the following data is required:

Your photo (but not portfolio), without retouching. Several photos are possible.

Date and place of birth (optional).

In what creative direction do you plan to develop?

What surnames (first names, combination of first and last names) do you like? Please write a list (10-20 options) if you have one. We will consider your options first, maybe some of them will be suitable for you. If you have no options, we will select the options ourselves.

Which egregor to choose a pseudonym from - Russian, European, etc.

Where do you plan to make your career - in Russia, Europe, etc.

We will offer you at least 5 harmonious options with good programs for creativity, fame, success, career, money. If you want any other programs in the pseudonym (besides those listed) - write.

Typically, preparation of a consultation takes at least 5-7 days.

In Russian, in addition to your options, we offer our options.

Nicknames in another language(except Russian) we select and diagnose only from your options.

After the consultation, you can order diagnostics of new options, but diagnostics of new options will be paid additionally. Therefore, before the consultation, we always ask you to send a list of your options (the more, the better) so that at least 1-2 options turn out to be successful. Therefore, if you want to consider new alias options after consultation, you will need to pay for the diagnosis of each alias.

On our website we offer a huge selection of names...

Prices for services are approximate and may change. Therefore, before making a translation, please first write a letter ordering any service (consultation, diagnostics).

To understand what a new name (full name) is, let's give an example:

A person needs to participate in a car race. He wants to win. He orders a car with excellent technical characteristics, pays for the development of such a car, and receives it.

But buying a great car doesn't mean it will win the race.

Firstly, he needs professional qualities as a racer.

Secondly, he needs time to get used to the new car and feel how it works.

Thirdly, professional drivers who may also have good cars can participate in the race.

It is clear that a good professional racer will not win in a bad car.

But if the driver is bad, and his car is great, he won’t get 1st place either.

In other words, if a person wants to succeed in business, he must possess certain qualities of a businessman. If he does not have such qualities, then a new (even very successful) name will not make him a good businessman.

A name can activate and strengthen a program that a person already has. But you need to understand that it takes time to strengthen and activate the program.

Some people will need a week to feel an improvement in their business, while others will need much longer. Maybe a year or two. It all depends on the individual’s individual achievements. And the name (full name) only helps or slows down.

If a person has the necessary energy (character qualities), then he himself can choose a suitable name (full name) with the necessary programs.

If a person does not have the necessary qualities, then he cannot fully objectively evaluate the new name (full name) proposed to him.

An inexperienced car enthusiast cannot objectively choose a suitable car. He may like a car with a beautiful design, but with weak filling.

Therefore, it is advisable to seek help from professionals.

Nicknames. Selecting a nickname

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magic forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magic rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness.

Therefore, please be careful!

Sincerely – Oleg and Valentina Svetovid

June 18, 2012

Are you satisfied with your full name?

“What should I do if I have an ugly last name?”

This question often arises among novice bloggers, and for some, the need to publish their own name prevents them from starting a blog. The solution is extremely simple - take a pseudonym.

Unlike, pseudonyms are not a way to hide your identity or simplify your identification in the online community, but a way to build your new image. The image that will lead the blogger to money and fame.

Nicknames around us

Perhaps someone thinks that the sonorous, beautiful combination of first and last name is an accident, the merit of far-sighted parents, or a gift from God. This is not true at all.

Leonid Utesov, Marilyn Monroe, Kir Bulychev, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Freddie Mercury – guess which of these names are real?

Don’t guess for too long, none of the given names are real, they are all pseudonyms. Moreover, it is difficult to find an outstanding public figure speaking under his real name and surname. Nowadays there are still many nicknames left in blogging (as a relic of the past), but the future belongs to pseudonyms.

Why does a blogger need a pseudonym?

There are 5 objective reasons why any public person (or team) needs a pseudonym:

  1. Laconic name– long names are difficult to remember, "Alexey Mirgashvadze" remembered much worse than "Lesha Mirny".
  2. Name memorability– too common names, such as "Alexander Petrov", blur in people’s perceptions, merging with dozens of similar surnames or namesakes. Here's something more unique - "Alex the First" will be remembered much better.
  3. Associate with occupation– surnames associated with a person’s profession are better perceived and remembered. For example, branding is full of names like “Vkusnov”, “Blinoff”, “Bystrov”.
  4. Hide origin– chauvinistic sentiments towards individual nations will not subside for a long time, so it is more economically feasible to choose neutral pseudonyms, or with a slight American slant.
  5. Not to be like a famous namesake - for example, when hearing the name Tolstoy, only Lev Nikolaevich comes to mind. At the beginning of my activity, I myself experienced problems with promotion in search engines, due to the wide popularity of my namesake Vladimir Lytvyn (Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine).

9 tricks for choosing a nickname

There is no technology for forming pseudonyms as such, otherwise all the names of stars and writers would be the same. But there are a number of techniques using which you can choose a pseudonym for yourself.

  1. Matching the first name to the last name(and vice versa) - if your first and last names are disharmonious, the simplest solution is to change one of them. For example, from “Fedor Tarasov”, you can make “Taras Tarasov”, or take something exotic for the name. A good example is Angelika Varum (Maria Varum).
  2. First and last name with the same letter– this turn of phrase is simple and easy to remember. For example, Marilyn Monroe, Alena Apina, Harry Harrison.
  3. Nicknames and nicknames– famous people often take successful nicknames given at school, college, or the army as their surnames. The nickname can be slightly changed and taken as a pseudonym. An example is Alexander Marshall.
  4. Heroes of books and films– you can take something from the first or last name of your favorite character (preferably a positive one) and thus create a pseudonym. An example is Alex Ivanhoe.
  5. Last names based on occupation- a simple technique to create a surname based on your occupation. For example, “Suitcases”, “Cakes”, “Rental”.
  6. Surnames based on qualities– just like with the previous example, you can do the same with positive qualities. Example - “Dobrov”, “Veselov”, “Happy”.
  7. Last names– many easy-to-understand pseudonyms are created by forming a surname from a given name. For example, Alexandra Marinina, Romain Gary.
  8. Associated surnames– for creative people, a surname for a pseudonym can be made from personal associations with oneself. Examples include Alexander Green, Andrey Bely, Demyan Bedny, Igor Severyanin.
  9. Surname inheritance– you can choose a city, country, nation, positive phenomenon as a surname. In this way, your surname will have echoes of the power of the original. Examples – Jack London, Lesya Ukrainka, Maxim Tank.

If you don't have a clear idea of ​​which tools to use, you can make a list of alias options and then choose the best one from them.

In any case, whether you chose a new pseudonym or left the name according to your passport, conduct a matching experiment. Imagine yourself at the pinnacle of success, on the cover of a magazine or on a podium in front of an audience of thousands. What name is written on the cover, what name does the presenter say? Is yours current or new?

The history of creating pseudonyms goes back a long way. The word itself has Greek roots, and can be translated as “false name.” Famous people often changed their last name, but their motives were radically different from each other.

What is a pseudonym for?

In ancient China and Japan, great poets took on new names when they achieved fame. They wanted to be sure that their fame was not just a fad, but a recognition of true talent. Many authors went through their creative path again several times.

Often the motive for hiding a name was fear - since the 17th century, actors and writers hid under pseudonyms so as not to disgrace the noble family and not bring the wrath of society upon their heads. In Tsarist Russia, revolutionaries seeking to avoid persecution carried out underground activities under fictitious, transparent nicknames.

Another motive for changing the name is the cacophony of the sound. Singer Krivorotov could hardly win the hearts of female fans in the 80s of the 20th century, but Andrei Razin coped with this task in the best possible way. Modern movie stars also prefer bright and sonorous pseudonyms to their rustic surnames - a well-chosen option quickly becomes famous in all corners of the planet.

The Internet also dictates its own rules to people striving to be at the center of the World Wide Web. Every second site offers to come up with a second name or nickname (nickname), and users have to use all their imagination so as not to get lost in the vastness of the web. Let’s try to figure out how to choose a nickname for different occasions in this article.

A nickname with a twist

The most important thing in a pseudonym is its originality and memorability. The name should arouse the curiosity of the interlocutor and the desire to solve the riddle. It is desirable that the nickname be associated with its bearer and be easily perceived by ear.

It is important to consider the circumstances in which the pseudonym will be used. It is unacceptable to use the nickname Milashka in business communication, but on a dating site its presence will be justified.

Of course, you can always take advantage of the fruits of someone else's mental labor and assign yourself a name from some online directory. However, coming up with original names that do not repeat anyone is always more interesting.

Know yourself

Quite often people take the problem of choosing a name too seriously. In that
In this case, fictitious nicknames sound too pretentious and cumbersome. How to come up with a nickname so that it is easily perceived and does not cause irritation or a bewildered smile? The best thing to do is look back at your past and think about what your friends and family called you. Often close people very subtly notice character details and come up with an accurate comparison. It may happen that you don’t have to come up with anything, since a good nickname has already been stored in your memory for a long time.

How to come up with a last name-pseudonym?

People of creative professions have always sought to change the boring surname they inherited. A bright name on a poster or TV screen attracts the attention of the public and makes them take a fresh look at the personality of the actor or musician. Let's look at several ways to create this type of nickname and try to use them in real life:


Female nicknames

Dear girls, before you come up with an original nickname for communicating on the Internet, think carefully about what goals you want to achieve! What nickname can you come up with for a girl living online? It all depends on the task at hand.

  1. Seduction. Such affectionate nicknames as “Lapulya”, “Sweet” or “Pussy” will come in handy in this situation. However, you should not count on a serious attitude towards your person from the male sex. Nicknames of this type are designed for a quick instinctive reaction, which can lead to indecent proposals, insults and ridicule. Sometimes these pseudonyms cause the opposite effect - disgust and negativity.
  2. Online Games. What nickname should I come up with for a girl who loves online games? Brave ladies are not shy and proudly call themselves “Lady Hammer”, “Warrior”, “Queen of the Night”. The disadvantage of such nicknames is that other players may want to test the strength of the armor of their owners. If you are ready to repel all attacks, then the decision has been made correctly.
  3. Acquaintance. For those who want to build personal happiness with the help of dating sites, it is recommended to choose romantic names that will demonstrate the girl’s femininity and charm. For example, this could be the name itself, written in Latin script. The design of a nickname will help enhance the effect, when instead of one letter there is a graphic icon (a heart or a flower).

Nickname for a man

Men, as representatives of the strong half of humanity, always strive to demonstrate strength and confidence in all aspects of life. And here it is important not to overdo it. Nicknames like “Sex Machine” or “Ladies’ Man” can only cause not only bewilderment, but also laughter.

You need to understand that women value intelligence, a sense of humor and the ability to make money. How to come up with a nickname for such a man? It’s very simple - use a mythological dictionary and a history textbook. A name borrowed from an ancient hero will show the education and erudition of its owner.

Which nickname should I choose?

How to come up with a nickname for “VKontakte”, “Odnoklassniki” and Facebook? Those who like to communicate on social networks know better than anyone the difficulties of choosing a pseudonym. And this is not surprising - thousands of people are racking their brains over how to present themselves to former classmates and current colleagues in the most favorable light. For teenagers communicating with their peers in chats and groups, it is very important not to get lost among the original nicknames and attract maximum attention. To solve this problem, let's try to use the most original ways to solve it.

How to come up with a nickname for social networks?


Results of using an alias

As a result of creative efforts, a lot of variants of pseudonyms are born and a new problem appears - the problem of choice. You don’t have to settle on just one word; it’s better to try out all the options you like. After communicating online for some time under a new nickname, you can understand its pros and cons. If there are more interlocutors and popularity is growing, then you are on the right track. If things got worse, then you should think about mistakes. Perhaps this nickname is inappropriate for this resource and only interferes with the completion of the assigned tasks. There is no need to despair - a negative result is a good reason for new achievements, and a creative approach will help you get the desired result.

In turn, we hope that the article helped answer the question “How to come up with a pseudonym?”, and our tips showed you new ways to form an original name.

Representatives of creative professions often use pseudonyms, the reasons for this can be very different, I have always wondered why people take a different name for themselves, and in general it can be surprising to find out that the name of the writer you are used to is not real. I decided to compile a selection of famous writers who used a pseudonym.

1. Boris Akunin, aka Anatoly Brusnikin and Anna Borisova - pseudonyms of Grigory Chkhartishvili

Initially he published his works as B. Akunin. The Japanese word “akunin” (Japanese 悪人), according to one of the heroes of the novel “The Diamond Chariot,” is translated as “scoundrel, villain,” but of gigantic proportions, in other words, an outstanding personality standing on the side of evil. And it was precisely these villains that Erast Fandorin encountered throughout his career. The decoding of “B” as “Boris” appeared a few years later, when the writer began to be frequently interviewed.

He publishes critical and documentary works under his real name.

2. Georges Sand - real name Amandine Aurora Lucille Dupin, married to Baroness Dudevant.

At the beginning of her writing career, Aurora wrote together with Jules Sandot (French fiction writer): the novels “The Commissioner” (1830), “Rose and Blanche” (1831), which had great success among readers, were published under his signature, since the stepmother of Casimir Dudevant ( husband Aurora) did not want to see her last name on the covers of books. Already on her own, Aurora began new work on the novel “Indiana,” the theme of which was the contrast of a woman seeking ideal love with a sensual and vain man. Sando approved the novel, but refused to sign someone else's text. Aurora chose a male pseudonym: this became for her a symbol of deliverance from the slavish position to which modern society doomed women. Keeping the surname Sand, she added the name Georges.

3. Richard Bachman - the pseudonym under which Stephen King published the books “Rage”, “The Long Walk”, “Road Work”, “The Running Man”, and “Thinner”

There are two versions about the reasons that prompted King to take a pseudonym. The first is to see if his alter ego can achieve the same success as himself. The second explanation is that the publishing standards of the time allowed only one book per year. The surname Bachman was not taken by chance; he is a fan of the musical group “Bachman-Turner Overdrive”.

4. Joe Hill Real name: Joseph Hillstrom King, son of Stephen King.

Wanting to achieve literary success on his own, without using the fame of his father's name, he took the pseudonym "Joe Hill". It was both an abbreviation of his real name Joseph and his middle name Hillstrom, and alluded to the person in whose honor Joseph Hillstrom was named - the famous American labor activist of the early 20th century and songwriter Joe Hill, who was unfairly accused of murder and executed in an American prison in 1915.

5. Robert Galbraith is the pseudonym of JK Rowling, used for the detective series about Cormoran Strike.

According to Rowling herself, publishing a book under a pseudonym freed her from the pressure to meet readers' expectations and live up to a fixed level of quality, and, conversely, gave her the opportunity to hear criticism of work that does not have her name on it. She told the Sunday Times magazine that she hoped that her involvement in writing the novel would not be revealed soon.

The publisher's website claimed that Robert Galbraith was the pseudonym of a former member of the Royal Military Police Special Investigations Unit who left in 2003 and went into private security business.

6. George Elliott's real name is Mary Ann Evans.

Like many other writers of the 19th century (George Sand, Marco Vovchok, the Brontë sisters - “Carrer, Ellis and Acton Bell”, Krestovsky-Khvoshchinskaya) - Mary Evans used a male pseudonym in order to arouse in the public a serious attitude towards her writings and caring for the integrity of your personal life. (In the 19th century, her works were translated into Russian without disclosing her pseudonym, which was inflected like a man’s first and last name: “a novel by George Eliot”).

7. Kir Bulychev real name Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko

He published science fiction works exclusively under a pseudonym. The first work of fiction, the story “The Debt of Hospitality,” was published as “a translation of a story by the Burmese writer Maung Sein Ji.” Bulychev subsequently used this name several more times, but most of his science fiction works were published under the pseudonym “Kirill Bulychev” - the pseudonym was combined from the name of his wife, Kira, and the maiden name of the writer’s mother. Subsequently, the name “Kirill” on the covers of books began to be written in abbreviation - “Kir.”, and then the “abbreviated” period was used, and this is how the now famous “Kir Bulychev” turned out. The combination Kirill Vsevolodovich Bulychev also occurred. The writer kept his real name a secret until 1982, because he believed that the leadership of the Institute of Oriental Studies would not consider science fiction a serious activity, and was afraid that after revealing his pseudonym he would be fired.

8. Arkady Gaidar, real name Golikov

Vladimir Soloukhin in the artistic and journalistic book “Salt Lake” gives a story according to which the pseudonym “Gaidar” is associated with the activities of A.P. Golikov as the head of the 2nd combat region of the ChON of the Achinsk district of the Yenisei province (now the Republic of Khakassia) in 1922-1924 years:

“Gaidar,” Misha said slowly, as usual, “the word is purely Khakassian.” Only the correct sound is not “Gaidar”, but “Haidar”; and it does not mean “going forward” and not “forward-looking”, but simply “where”. And this word stuck to him because he asked everyone: “Haidar?” That is, where to go? He didn’t know any other Khakass words.

The name “Gaidar” reminded the writer of his school years, bearing in mind that the “G” in this name meant “Golikov”, the “ai” meant “Arkady”, and the “gift”, as if echoing the hero of Alexandre Dumas, D’Artagnan, “in the French manner” meant “from Arzamas.” Thus, the name “Gaidar” stands for “Golikov Arkady from Arzamas.”

The third version of the origin of the pseudonym and surname: from Ukrainian “gaidar” is a sheep shepherd. Arkady Golikov’s childhood was connected with the Gaidars, as he spent several summer months with them for several years in a row. He liked these places and his childhood memories so much that he chose the pseudonym Arkady Gaidar.

9. Teffi Real name Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Lokhvitskaya

For the first time, the name Teffi (without initials) appears in the 51st issue of the Theater and Art magazine, in December 1901 (this is the second publication of the writer). Perhaps Teffi took a pseudonym because long before the start of her literary activity, her older sister, the poetess Mirra Lokhvitskaya, whom critics nicknamed the “Russian Sappho,” gained fame. (By the beginning of her literary career, Teffi had already separated from her first husband, after whom she bore the surname Buchinskaya). According to researchers of Teffi’s creativity E.M. Trubilova and D.D. Nikolaev, the pseudonym for Nadezhda Alexandrovna, who loved hoaxes and jokes, and was also the author of literary parodies and feuilletons, became part of a literary game aimed at creating an appropriate image of the author.

The version of the origin of the pseudonym is set out by the writer herself in the story “Pseudonym”. She did not want to sign her texts with a man’s name, as contemporary writers often did: “I didn’t want to hide behind a male pseudonym. Cowardly and cowardly. It’s better to choose something incomprehensible, neither this nor that. But what? We need a name that would bring happiness. The best name is the name of some fool - fools are always happy.” She “remembered one fool, truly excellent and, in addition, one who was lucky, which means that fate itself recognized him as an ideal fool. His name was Stepan, and his family called him Steffy. Having dropped the first letter out of delicacy (so that the fool would not become arrogant),” the writer “decided to sign her play “Taffy””. After the successful premiere of this play, in an interview with a journalist, when asked about the pseudonym, Teffi replied that “it’s... the name of one fool..., that is, such a surname.” The journalist noted that he was “told it was from Kipling.” Taffy, who remembered Kipling’s name, as well as the song “Taffy was a walesman / Taffy was a thief...” from Trilby, agreed with this version.

10. Mark Twain Real name Samuel Langhorne Clemens

Clemens claimed that the pseudonym Mark Twain was taken by him in his youth from river navigation terms. Then he was an assistant pilot on the Mississippi, and the cry of “mark twain” (literally “mark two”) meant that, according to the mark on the lotline, the minimum depth suitable for the passage of river vessels had been reached - 2 fathoms (≈ 3 .7 m).

However, there is a version about the literary origin of this pseudonym: in 1861, Vanity Fair magazine published a humorous story by Artemus Ward (real name Charles Brown) “North Star” about three sailors, one of whom was named Mark Twain. Samuel was very fond of the humorous section of this magazine and read Ward's works in his first appearances.

In addition to “Mark Twain,” Clemens once signed himself in 1896 as “Sieur Louis de Conte” (French: Sieur Louis de Conte) - under this name he published his novel “Personal Memoirs of Joan of Arc of Sir Louis de Conte, her page and secretary."

11. Max Fry is the literary pseudonym of two authors - Svetlana Martynchik and Igor Stepin

The book series was written by Svetlana Martynchik in collaboration with Igor Stepin and published under the pseudonym “Max Frei”. The authors maintained some anonymity, not disclosing their pseudonyms and not appearing in public specifically as the authors of novels (they were known as artists). On the website “Physionomy of the Russian Internet”, under the name Max Fry, there was a portrait of an unknown black man. Coupled with jokes from the Azbuka publishing house that Max Fry was a blue-eyed black man, this fueled rumors that “literary blacks” were writing under a pseudonym.

My pseudonym was chosen precisely because of my hero. I wanted the name of the author and the name of the character from whom the story is told to match. Svetlana Martynchik

Maria Zakharova notes that the language game characteristic of Max Frei’s texts is also manifested in the choice of pseudonym: “for example, Max Frei - max frei (German) - “maximum freely”” and “it is important to note that both Max Frei and Holm Van Zaichik - fictitious, “game”, pseudonyms of Russian-speaking authors"""

12. O. Henry real name William Sidney Porter

In prison, Porter worked in the infirmary as a pharmacist (a rare profession in prison) and wrote stories, looking for a pseudonym. In the end, he chose the version of O. Henry (often incorrectly spelled like the Irish surname O'Henry - O'Henry). Its origin is not entirely clear. The writer himself claimed in an interview that the name Henry was taken from the society news column in the newspaper, and the initial O. was chosen as the simplest letter. He told one of the newspapers that O. stands for Olivier (the French name Olivier), and indeed, he published several stories there under the name Olivier Henry.

According to other sources, this is the name of the famous French pharmacist Etienne Ocean Henry, whose medical reference book was popular at that time.

Another hypothesis was put forward by writer and scientist Guy Davenport: “Oh. Henry" is nothing more than an abbreviation of the name of the prison where the author was imprisoned - Ohio Penitentiary (Ohio State Penitentiary). Also known as the Arena District, which burned to the ground on April 21, 1930.

Al Jennings, who was in prison with Porter and became famous as the author of the book "Through the Dark with O. Henry" (there is an option to translate the title "With O. Henry at the Bottom"), in his book says that the pseudonym was taken from a famous cowboy song , where there are the following lines: “My beloved returned at 12 o’clock. Tell me, O Henry, what is the sentence?” .

There is an opinion that “The famous American writer W. Porter took the pseudonym O. Henry in honor of the physicist J. Henry, whose name was constantly uttered with admiration by the school teacher: “Oh! Henry! It was he who discovered that the discharge of a capacitor through a coil is oscillatory in nature!’” He wrote his first story under this pseudonym, “Dick the Whistler’s Christmas Gift,” published in 1899 in McClure’s Magazine, in prison.

The importance of a good nickname

Most famous bloggers or media personalities have pseudonyms, which are patented as a brand. They are used if:

  • The real name and surname are too simple and typical.
  • Your real first and last name is ugly or difficult to remember.
  • You need a bright name associated with your occupation.
  • Friends or relatives have called a person this way for a very long time and he feels more comfortable responding to such a name.
  • It would be desirable and appropriate to have a nickname that is shocking, funny or characterizes a person.

A good nickname should be nice-sounding, recognizable and memorable, understandable and close to the majority of the population with whom the girl or guy communicates. Its importance is determined by several factors:

  • The audience with whom the person communicates will be happy to use it to address this individual. This is good word of mouth advertising.
  • The nickname will be associated with the owner’s occupation. For example, if she is a famous athlete, then the thought “if this is a sport, then he/she is the best” will pop up in people’s minds.
  • A pseudonym helps to distinguish a person from the crowd and emphasize his characteristics.
  • He hides personal information about his family and past if he does not want to put it on public display for a number of reasons.
